Terre di Lidia, our main brand, embraces 100 hectares of Coratina and Ogliarola or Cima di
Bitonto olive groves.
From the Coratina cultivar we obtain our Spineto brand, a deep green olive oil with a spicy, bitter
flavour and an aroma of fresh-cut grass. While our Morò brand derives from the Ogliarola or Cima
di Bitonto cultivar which has a golden yellow colour and gentle, slight taste.
The farm is situated in Southern Italy, close to Bari in the region of Apulia and extends over
several areas with different climates, temperatures and altitudes. These olive groves start from
near the Adriatic coast, with high temperatures and a wet climate, arriving at the foot of the Murge
plateau, which lies at 400 meters above sea-level, with low temperatures and a dry climate.
These differences allow for a progressive harvest in parallel with the ripening of the olives, which
means we can mill our fruit at the right stage of ripeness to then be processed within 24 hours,
thus giving life to our olive oils.
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is furthermore available in 0.5 litre glass of bottle packaging.
Morò, is the name of the farm on which these olives are grown, as well as the trade mark olive oil produced from the Ogliarola, a typical variety of olives from the province of Bari in Italy’s southern region of Apulia. This oil is sweeter and lighter than the Coratina olive oil, another very famous and popular variety from southern Italy.
